Black Forest Kitchen: A Taste of Berlin in Oakland

Have you ever tried döner kebab? If not, Black Forest Kitchen will introduce you to this Berlin favorite. Located in Oakland, this pop-up is becoming a brick-and-mortar restaurant on Friday, April 4. Known for its flavorful street food, döner kebab is made with thin slices of spit-roasted meat, fresh vegetables, and herby yogurt sauce. Unique to Black Forest Kitchen, choose from chicken or a plant-based version with oyster mushrooms, both topped with fresh ingredients like red cabbage, jalapeños, and feta cheese.

This restaurant adds a slice of German culinary culture to Oakland, reminding us that there’s more to German food than just sausages and schnitzels.
